Game Bird Diseases contains a wealth of easily understood information on all of the common, and a number of the not-so-common, game bird maladies and other aliments. Game stock welfare, disease identification, prevention, and treatment alternatives are all covered, in a no-nonsense narrative that will aid today’s working gamekeeper or game farmer to raise and release healthy game stock. This is a handy reference guide that every keeper should have at hand during rearing time, and that will also prove useful for the veterinary practitioner. Alan Pearson has been a practising vet for 37 years, and specialises in game birds and poultry. He has worked with some of the UK’s largest hatcheries and rearing sites, and has been a regular contributor to Modern Gamekeeping magazine’s game bird vet column.
